I don't want to disagree with you when you agree with me, is that agreeable with you, or
do you disagree with my agreement to be so agreeable.

" -Philip K. Dick[/FONT]
Science is a philosophy. But you're right, science will probably never understand the whole of reality in our current mode of existence. There's just too much of it - or more to the point, too much of it that we cannot see.
what is reality but a dream. A continuation of reality. Your reality is at the end of your dream. And where your dream ends, your reality begins. ^-^
some could be, i know some girls share their dreams with family or friends. and there are books and people who interpret dreams for others
Shared dreams have been clinically tested, and refuted. It is more likely that any "sharing" is due to false memory (to which dreams are very prone), coincidence , or simply lying. And the interpretation of dreams has little to do with shared dreams. ]
I would say that dreams are derived from reality, a function of our real brains using information accrued from waking experience in our little section of reality.
Here it's not that simple. Reality has many facets, much thought to be afforded to it. It's a toughie!
Why you in particular? And if not just you, isn't there the potential for others wanting reality to be something diametrically opposed to what you want?
i was just making a joke, but everyone has their own opinion or thought about reality. thats more of what i'm saying
Reality, in everyday usage, means "the state of things as they actually exist". The term reality, in its widest sense, includes everything that is, whether or not it is observable or comprehensible. Reality in this sense may include both being and nothingness, whereas existence is often restricted to being (compare with nature). In other words, "reality", as a philosophical category includes the formal concept of "nothingness" and articulations and combinations of it with other concepts (those possessing extension in physical objects or processes for example).

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The mind moves from the known to the known, and it cannot reach out into the unknown. You cannot think of something you do not know; it is impossible. What you think about comes out of the known, the past, whether that past be remote, or the second that has just gone by. This past is thought, shaped and conditioned by many influences, modifying itself according to circumstances and pressures, but ever remaining a process of time. Thought can only deny or assert, it cannot discover the new[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] but when thought is silent, then there may be the new—which is immediately transformed into the old, into the experienced, by thought. Thought is ever shaping, modifying, coloring according to a pattern of experience. The function of thought is to communicate not to be in the state of experiencing. When experiencing ceases, then thought takes over and terms it within the category of the known. Thought cannot penetrate into the unknown, and so it can never experience reality.[/FONT]
Yes, I believe most if not all people have lazily fallen in line with one form of ideology or another and nothing shall sway them from their course. I to fall into this category.
You would be a prime example of what I'm talking about.
This is an absolute fact.
It's interesting to think of what it would mean if Socratic logic were true. I'm not entirely convinced it isn't but if it is it sure turns modern thinking in physics and everything else upside down. I think a sound argument can be made for it. I'm not sure it would prove out however but it might.
